Send to mail recipient

[Guest]

When I right click on a file in Explorer and select "send to" and "mail
recipient" it brings up Netscape 7.1 instead of Eudora. Even though I
continue to select Netscape as not being my default mail handler, it still
does so. In Control Panel/Internet Options/Programs, Eudora is selected. In
Netscape Properties, Netscape is not selected.

Other than not bringing up the proper mail handler, everything works ok.

How can I get the send to/mail handler to be Eudora?

One other place to check that your default email software is Eudora: control
panel, Add/remove programs. In the left column click on set program access
and defaults. (there may also be a shortcut to that on your start menu).

This may not seem intuitive, but look in Internet Explorer, under Tools,
Internet Options, Programs, and change the setting for E-Mail. You'll
probably see there that it is currently Netscape.

Another option:

Right-click on the Taskbar, and choose Properties. In the "Start Menu" tab, click the "Customize" button corresponding the "Start menu" radio button. In the next screen, select "Eudora" from the E-Mail drop-down listing.

Thank you for your responses. Problem solved!! Here is how it worked out:

Program access and defaults in Control Panel/Add-Remove Programs was set to
"use my current e-mail program".

Internet Explorer/Tools/Internet Options/Programs was set to "Eudora".

Taskbar/Properties/Start Menu was originally set to the "Classic Start Menu"
position, so there was no drop down menu. Changing it to the "Start Menu"
position resulted in a drop down menu which showed Netscape as the default
mail handler. Changing it to "Eudora" solved the problem.

Thanks again.
